00:00.000 --> 00:02.000
.

00:02.000 --> 00:29.920
So.

00:29.920 --> 00:37.000
Yes, then welcome to our 15th Accessibility Day here at the HDM.

00:37.000 --> 00:43.540
I warmly welcome you and congratulate you for being able to compete with the weather.

00:43.540 --> 00:50.380
Thank you for being there. I promise it will be a great program.

00:50.380 --> 00:57.040
The topic of barrier freedom or inclusion is recently very much in conversation again

00:57.040 --> 01:03.580
through new legal provisions and here at our accessibility day it is

01:03.580 --> 01:08.820
mainly about research what we can do here and also want to

01:08.820 --> 01:14.620
not forget to welcome those who are now streaming with us thanks to the

01:14.620 --> 01:19.060
streaming team thank you very much that you have already set up everything beforehand and that it always works so well

01:19.060 --> 01:26.440
with you also the christoph strobemann employee who set up the website here and

01:26.440 --> 01:28.440
and other people who are with us.

01:28.440 --> 01:32.440
I would like to welcome the speakers.

01:32.440 --> 01:37.440
I will say a few words about that when we look at the program.

01:39.440 --> 01:44.440
This year we are focusing on the topic of what we can do with new technologies,

01:44.440 --> 01:49.440
especially with artificial intelligence, to achieve more barrier-free.

01:49.440 --> 01:53.440
It is not about using new technologies to make a profit,

01:53.440 --> 01:59.440
but rather it should be a plus, an added value for the people.

01:59.440 --> 02:07.440
And we have various contributions today and at the end there will be a discussion on the podium.

02:07.440 --> 02:19.440
New technologies are everywhere in progress and we experience that in some places the human being is also expanded by technology.

02:19.440 --> 02:22.440
Human Augmentation, as they say.

02:22.440 --> 02:30.440
This is an interesting thing, especially when you are suddenly guided by technology.

02:30.440 --> 02:35.440
And you have to ask yourself, am I still the person I used to be?

02:35.440 --> 02:40.440
These are questions we will discuss in the podium discussion.

02:40.440 --> 02:43.440
You are all invited to participate today.

02:43.440 --> 02:48.440
After each lecture, we will have the opportunity to ask you a question.

02:48.440 --> 02:50.440
There will be a microphone for that.

02:50.440 --> 02:52.440
We have to pass that through.

02:52.440 --> 02:56.440
You must not just start, but wait until you have the microphone,

02:56.440 --> 03:01.440
because we also have the streaming with us, otherwise they won't be able to see anything on the screen.

03:01.440 --> 03:08.440
And then at the very end you also have the opportunity to ask your questions at the podium discussion.

03:08.440 --> 03:14.440
If we take a look at the program that you have already seen.

03:14.440 --> 03:18.440
We have two special guests today.

03:18.440 --> 03:22.440
Ms. Anne-Marie Nebe comes from Dresden, she came here today.

03:22.440 --> 03:26.440
Thank you very much, Anne-Marie, for being here.

03:26.440 --> 03:33.440
She is at T-Systems, Multimedia Solutions GmbH.

03:33.440 --> 03:37.440
T-Systems has a large test and integration center in Dresden.

03:37.440 --> 03:41.440
It's about usability, but it's also about barrier-free.

03:41.440 --> 03:47.440
There are also people who are willing to work with us in the field of barrier-free work.

03:47.440 --> 03:51.440
Whether it is a practical semester or a career start.

03:51.440 --> 03:54.440
I'm sure you can tell us more about that.

03:54.440 --> 03:56.440
Dresden is a beautiful city.

03:56.440 --> 04:00.440
I know Ms. Nebe from her professional activities.

04:00.440 --> 04:09.440
We are currently starting a German professional association for barrier-free specialists.

04:09.440 --> 04:13.040
It's called German Chapter of IAAP.

04:13.040 --> 04:19.960
It's a network of professionals from the US and Canada.

04:19.960 --> 04:24.120
There are many more specialists in this area.

04:24.120 --> 04:27.720
We want to find a German publisher.

04:27.720 --> 04:33.280
Ms. Nebe will be the chairman in the fall.

04:33.280 --> 04:34.920
We are preparing for that.

04:34.920 --> 04:41.920
She is also active in German UPA, the professional association of usability specialists.

04:41.920 --> 04:46.920
She is also the chairperson of the Barrier Freedom Working Group.

04:46.920 --> 04:54.920
I will now just do a little bit of the round, then I will not say much to the people, but it may be interesting to know who is here.

04:54.920 --> 05:00.920
Our second guest speaker who is coming from far away is Professor Soyo Sucada.

05:00.920 --> 05:06.920
He is now in the Charité Berlin, used to be in Tübingen, a university clinic.

05:06.920 --> 05:14.920
There I also met him as one of the supervisors of one of my employees, Tobias, who is somewhere, where is he now?

05:14.920 --> 05:17.920
Yes, as a promoter.

05:17.920 --> 05:24.920
And I'm glad that you're here, also from a completely different direction, so not from the computer science side,

05:24.920 --> 05:34.920
but he is simply a specialist in the area when it comes to cognitive processes, brain computer interface,

05:34.920 --> 05:47.920
how can technology be used to help people who actually have no other way to communicate in the case of locked-in patients.

05:47.920 --> 05:55.720
and sojo so he makes a lot of projects in the area and others also with the hand exoskeleton

05:55.720 --> 06:01.900
that even then also cross-sectional people who can learn to move again

06:01.900 --> 06:07.160
about a hand exoskeleton such things i'm excited about it that will be after the break

06:07.160 --> 06:12.160
in the break there are by the way pretzels and warm drinks before the break we still have

06:12.160 --> 06:21.160
I have a presentation from two students here, Patrick Brenner and Niklas Jansen, who did a small project, a student project.

06:21.160 --> 06:32.060
It's about AI bias, how AI can be misled by bad training data and suddenly

06:32.060 --> 06:42.060
people who were not in the spotlight before and who would not be disadvantaged as a human being.

06:42.060 --> 06:45.060
We will hear more about what that means.

06:45.060 --> 06:52.060
And then from Prof. Jens-Uwe Hahn, my colleague, a report on the project Re-Hality,

06:52.060 --> 06:55.060
which is being done together with Zübingen.

06:55.060 --> 07:05.560
Also about these things with brain computer interface and how can you help stroke patients to learn to move their hands again,

07:05.560 --> 07:11.560
if there is a lesion like that. This is quite often the case with stroke patients on one side or both sides.

07:11.560 --> 07:16.560
And then at the very end we have the podium discussion.

07:16.560 --> 07:21.060
There we just want to tackle the topics a little bit, approach them a little bit systematically.

07:21.060 --> 07:29.060
I will then lead and then we also ask everyone who is sitting here to contribute again, plus a few others.

07:29.060 --> 07:36.060
I also greet Mrs. Henning, who is here from the Institute for Digital Ethics with us and will also be present in the podium discussion.

07:36.060 --> 07:41.060
And afterwards, I don't know if Christopher Ruff from Fraunhofer will also be present.

07:41.060 --> 07:47.060
He also leads one or even several projects in the area of how to use robots for care.

07:47.060 --> 07:53.240
So, now I've talked enough. Now I hand over to Marie Nebe and we are

07:53.240 --> 07:57.440
curious what you can tell us about these services in the area of

07:57.440 --> 08:01.740
barrier-free, which are so often asked.
